Becoming a Yakuza Boss from Tokyo

.........cut.........

PS. The names of the above three people come from the Japanese drama "Tower of Sakura" produced last year. I personally feel that this drama is pretty good. Although there are only 9 episodes, the pace is fast, the plot is not dragged out, and the acting is online. I finished watching it in one weekend. If you are interested, you can take a look.

Chapter 75: Long Yan, gradually becoming

A week passed quickly, but the Ikebukuro kidnapping incident was not forgotten by the public due to the passage of time. Instead, it has become more and more serious. Turn on any program and you can hear discussions about this incident more or less.

However, as the center of the vortex, thanks to the "protection" of the Metropolitan Police Department and the exclusive interview with Keisuke Sato, Ryuhiko actually had a leisurely week.

What made him feel somewhat speechless was that those reporters, seeing that they could not interview him, actually turned their attention to his classmates at Xinghai College.

See what's written here?

Student A: "Long Yan respects teachers and loves to learn. He is always willing to help his classmates no matter what difficulties they encounter."

Classmate B: "Long Yan is a good person who is always eager to help others. What he hates most is senior students bullying junior students. Whenever he sees this, he will take the initiative to help and speak up for the disadvantaged students."

Classmate C: "Tatsuhiko actively participates in club activities. I heard that he not only easily defeated the rookie champion of the table tennis club, but also became a regular player of the kendo club as a first-year student. He is simply an idol for the first-year students."

Student Union President: "I hope that after Long Yan recovers, he can join our Xinghai High School Student Union, and in the next election for the Student Union President, I hope that he can become the new Student Union President and lead our Xinghai High School to a higher level."

Excuse me?

In class, he usually spends his time either sleeping or thinking about how to quickly gain wealth. Because he doesn't know much about the conditions in Japan, he only listens a little more carefully in Chinese and social studies classes. How can his classmates tell that he loves learning and respects teachers?

As for helping classmates?

There are no more than ten people in the school whom he can name, so what kind of classmates can he help?

Apart from the one who actively participated in club activities, Long Yan suspected that they might have mistaken him for someone else.

However, everyone loves the gossip, and looking at the magazines that Saito Takuma brought him every day, he gradually began to regard these gossips as a kind of entertainment.

But today, he received an unexpected visitor.

"Uesugi-san, I'm here to see you on behalf of everyone~!"

Chika Fujiwara's iconic voice appeared in Ryuhiko's ward.

Because of the "protection" of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ryuhiko had hardly seen any other visitors except Saito Takuma and Sato Keisuke during his hospitalization, which even made him feel as if he was in hospital or in prison.

However, it is obvious that with Fujiwara Chika's identity, the Metropolitan Police Department would not give her an easy way out. The one who really forced the Metropolitan Police Department to let her go was probably the middle-aged man following behind her.

As expected, facing Long Yan's somewhat confused look, Fujiwara Chika introduced: "I was just trying to ask Dad if he could help say hello to someone he knew at the Metropolitan Police Department, but I didn't expect him to come and see you."

Hearing this, Long Yan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the middle-aged man next to Fujiwara Chika.

With a meticulously combed hairdo, a well-fitting suit, and a kind and friendly face beneath plain and simple glasses, and a background that is enough to get the green light from the Metropolitan Police Department, there is no doubt that Fujiwara Chika's father should be a politician or a senior official.

After Fujiwara Chika formally introduced each other, her father finally said with a smile: "I am Chika's father, Fujiwara Daichi. I heard Chika mention before that there is a classmate in her class who has amazing cooking skills and is not inferior to the Ten Elites of Totsuki. I didn't believe it at first, but when I found out that the classmate she was talking about was you, 'Sakamoto Ryoma of the Heisei Era', I found it very reasonable."

Should we say he is worthy of being a politician?

Fujiwara Daichi's opening remarks sound very pleasant.

What made Long Yan a little embarrassed was the way he addressed himself.

I don't know when the word "Chuunibyou" was engraved into the DNA of the Japanese. They always like to give people some strange identities, such as "the empire's destroying dragon", "the empire's most ferocious tiger", "the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era", and "the savior of the Japanese police".

This "Sakamoto Ryoma of the Heisei Era" is a nickname that was recently created by some gossip news. When Ryuhiko saw it, he felt like he was about to suffer from embarrassment.

His last name is not Kiryu!

However, who was it that caused this public opinion storm?

No matter how embarrassing it is, you can only face it with a smile.

Hearing this, he just smiled politely and said, "No, no, Uncle Fujiwara, thank you for the compliment. I am really flattered that you have bothered to visit me in person."

Although Long Yan didn't know whether Fujiwara Daichi was a senior government official or a politician, the fact that he chose to visit him at this time must be more than just as he said.

What surprised Long Yan was that after a brief greeting, Fujiwara Daichi did not show any overly urgent intentions. He just pulled over two stools and sat beside his bed with Fujiwara Chika and started chatting.

The topic of the three people's casual chat was limited to gossip about family matters. Apart from vaguely asking about the situation of Long Yan's parents, they did not go beyond that at all.

This couldn't help but make Long Yan a little confused.

Am I overthinking it?

However, just as Long Yan began to have some self-doubtful thoughts, Fujiwara Daichi looked at the watch on his wrist, then stood up and said.

"It's almost time. I'm really sorry to bother Long Yan today.

I have to say, you are such an amazing kid. You must come to my house after you are discharged from the hospital. Young heroes like you always remind me of the glorious years in the past."

After hearing this, Long Yan finally understood the purpose of Fujiwara Daichi's visit.

As the hottest rising star at the moment, even though Ryuhiko does not accept any interviews or visits under the "protection" of the Metropolitan Police Department, some interested people still pay attention to his every move, including Fujiwara Daichi's visit.

If he went to the Fujiwara family after being discharged from the hospital, he would undoubtedly be labeled as a member of the Fujiwara family.

Is this a signal to political opponents?

Long Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was secretly calculating in his mind.

However, Ryuhiko neither intended to refuse nor immediately agree to the goodwill shown by Fujiwara Daichi.

In Japan, a capitalist country, the state serves the chaebols, and the transaction of money and power is too blatant.

When he had enough capital, he didn't mind making some deals with some politicians.

Otherwise, how can we talk about trampling this country under our feet?

What he didn't know was that just after Fujiwara Daichi and his daughter said goodbye to him and walked out of his ward, Fujiwara Daichi took Fujiwara Chika to the corner of the hospital and whispered to him.

"Chika, even though Ryuhiko is really good, daddy still won't allow you to fall in love too early!"

PS. I woke up this morning with a severe headache and some nausea. I took a leave and rested for most of the day before I felt slightly better.

After thinking about it carefully, it might be because I was being stupid the night before and felt that the winter quilt was too hot, so I took out the autumn quilt to cover myself with it, so I caught a cold?

My friends, please keep warm and don’t learn from me and whine!

Chapter 76: Getting Rich Overnight

Monday, April 4th was the day Long Yan was discharged from the hospital and returned to school.

Perhaps it was because he was stabbed while the [King of Demonic High] status card was in effect, his wounds had basically recovered after only two weeks of recuperation. Except for being unable to engage in strenuous exercise for the time being, he had no problem with normal activities.

Of course, he was not idle during the two weeks of recuperation in the hospital.

Popularity and traffic are fleeting. In their past lives, many celebrity artists took advantage of their popularity to make money like crazy, setting one terrifying daily salary record after another. Knowing this well, he naturally would not miss this opportunity to make money.

Since Asahi Shimbun was the first media to release his exclusive interview, it naturally received widespread attention from the society.

Keisuke Sato only briefly mentioned that Longyan not only had a strong sense of justice, but also started his own business with his uncle, who he depended on for support, and supported himself with his own hard-working hands when his father was "missing" and his mother passed away. His family's Longjing Mixiang was almost broken down by the influx of fans and the people who followed the trend and chased fashion trends.

Now, not only Tokyo, but almost all of Japan knows that there is a dessert shop in Beika-cho, Tokyo, run by "Ryoma Sakamoto of the Heisei era". Not only are the prices affordable and the taste excellent, but it has also been on the hot search list many times in a short period of time and has become a fashion trend.

In Tokyo, everyone considers it a trend to have a cup of Longjing milk tea in their hands. Some girls even use whether their boyfriends will give them a cup of Longjing milk tea on a date as a criterion for romance. Even some outsiders from outside Tokyo will come from afar to check in.

Nowadays, if someone does not have any information related to Longjing Mixiang desserts in his LINE social circle, he may even be regarded as an old-fashioned country bumpkin and an alien by the people around him.

To be honest, when Long Yan saw such a "grand occasion" in just one or two weeks, he was a little numb.

Well, it’s so hard to make money.

But when he thought carefully about Japan's twisted and almost perverted interpersonal relationships and social circles, he suddenly felt that this made sense.

Especially when he heard Saito Takuma complaining to him every night that the ice machine in the store was about to smoke, and Suzuki Sonoko, Fujiwara Chika, Kudo Shinichi and others asked to go through the back door to avoid queuing, he knew that the time was almost right.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of being discharged from the hospital, he formally sent a signal to the outside world through Keisuke Sato.

In order to give back to the enthusiasm of the general public and let everyone who likes Longjing Mixiang have a cup of Longjing Mixiang of their own, we are now officially open to external franchise!

All of a sudden, not only Tokyo, but also Hokkaido, Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, and the 43 prefectures under the jurisdiction of Japan immediately heard the news and took action. Large numbers of people waving money flocked to Tokyo, just to sign a franchise agreement with Long Yan first and gain the upper hand in this war without gunpowder.

Faced with the influx of franchisee candidates, if Long Yan relied on himself alone, his enthusiasm would probably have faded by the time he had finished talking to them all.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation.

In his previous life, he had an entire company to support him, so even the largest orders would not cause him to be in a panic, but things are different now.

Money can indeed buy talent, but it cannot buy time and trust.

Now, apart from his popularity, intelligence and perfect looks, he only has two available people: Saito Takuma and Teruhashi Kokomi.

Although Teruhashi Kokomi was grateful to him, she was just a part-time salaried worker after all.

When she came to visit Long Yan while he was in the hospital, he even discovered that this beautiful girl's mouth corners seemed to twitch a little due to excessive smiling recently. In addition, Teruhashi Shinmi was only a freshman in high school. With her knowledge and experience, she could not deal with those business veterans at all.

The final burden still has to fall on both him and Saito Takuma.

Therefore, he knows how important it is to have a reliable, high-quality team with outstanding professional qualities.

In order to deal with the current situation quickly and maximize his benefits in the short term, he simply chose to cling to someone powerful.

With the help of Suzuki Sonoko, he sold 10% of the original shares of Longjing Mixiang to the Suzuki Group at a discount, in exchange for one year's use rights of a professional team. At the same time, he also hired the law firm of Mori Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki, who is known as the "Queen of the Legal World", as his corporate legal adviser at a high salary to minimize the corresponding risks.

To be honest, in the eyes of many people, with the current momentum of Longjing Mixiang, exchanging 10% of the original shares for one-year usage rights of a commercial team is simply a wasteful behavior.

But Long Yan didn't think so.

As mentioned before, what he lacks most now is time and talent. If he must accumulate enough wealth to fight against the Ueno Society in a short period of time, he simply does not have enough time to slowly train his own team.

Rather than handing these things over to people whose backgrounds are unknown, he would rather rely on the powerful Suzuki Group.

Besides, cooperating with the Suzuki Group, one of the four largest conglomerates in Japan, is also a deterrent to the villains.

He felt it was worth it to exchange 10% of the original shares for time and space!

The result was encouraging. In just one week, Long Yan had collected more than 500 million yen in franchise fees, and he jumped from a poor boy who couldn't even afford the hospital bills to a billionaire!

Although this billion is in Japanese yen.

But even if the suffix unit of these 500 million is Japanese yen, it is still a fortune that cannot be underestimated.

And don’t disbelieve it.

In order to sell the franchise fee at a high price and develop sustainably in a healthy way, Long Yan did not choose to drain the pond like Yi XX in his previous life did, and set up a large number of branches in a full coverage manner to quickly accumulate wealth.

Instead, based on Japan's national conditions, the franchise fees of one city, one prefecture, two prefectures, and forty-three counties were auctioned one by one.

Except for the management rights in Tokyo, which are retained by the owner, the starting price for Hokkaido, Osaka, and Kyoto is slightly higher at 10 million yen per year. For the remaining 43 prefectures, the starting price is 7 million yen per year, and the auction will be conducted in the form of regional franchise.

This does not include revenue sharing and management fees.

This created a sales miracle in a short period of time!

However, although Long Yan already had assets of more than 500 million yen at this time, he did not dare to show any complacency or carelessness when facing the Kowloon Group and the Gold Watch Group. He still needed to get more money!

PS. I also want to get rich overnight!

Chapter 77: The Hero Returns to School

Long Yan's return to school undoubtedly caused an earthquake-like response in Xinghai University and even in society.

The school not only hung a banner at the school gate that read "Welcome the hero Ryuhiko Uesugi to return to school after recovery", but also set up all kinds of guns and cameras outside the school.

Looking at that scene, Long Yan thought he was attending some award ceremony.

Fortunately, Xinghai High School, as the leading super high school in Kanto with more than 5,000 students, can handle such a situation very easily.

The moment Long Yan appeared a hundred meters away from Xinghai High School, someone suddenly shouted "Uesugi-san is back", and more than two hundred high school students wearing various sportswear suddenly rushed out of Xinghai High School.

Under the leadership of the student union president, the muscular brothers from the high school sports club linked hands and almost used their strong arms to open up a smooth road for Long Yan to Xinghai High School.

With a twitching eye, he looked at the reporters from major newspapers who were blocking his way, and who did not forget to turn their heads from time to time, looking at his muscular brothers with a look of admiration and respect. Long Yan could not help but quicken his pace into the school.

However, just as he entered the school gate, a tall girl with a strong aura, who looked like a strong woman, stood in front of him.

"Hello, Uesugi-san. I'm Ayuzawa Misaki, the president of the Student Union of Xinghai High School. Welcome back to school after your recovery. If it's convenient, can you exchange LINE with me? After all, you are a big celebrity now. If you encounter any inconveniences during your time at school, I can help you coordinate to a certain extent."
